Travel Day 978 – Sivananda Ashram, Kerala, INDIA When I woke up at 5.20am again, I felt the same as I did yesterday evening and I knew that this was definitely my last day in the Sivananda Ashram… Actually I had a really bad night, because I was so wound up after our stage performance […]
Travel Day 977 – Sivananda Ashram, Kerala, INDIA After our very interesting Friday, today everything was back to the normal schedule and it became increasingly difficult for me to motivate myself to fully embrace the daily program… We had the usual 5.20am wake-up call, the 6am Satsang, which I joined with my Tabla, the 7.30am […]
Travel Day 975 – Sivananda Ashram, Kerala, INDIA It was already day three in the Sivananda Ashram and when we were getting up at 5.20am again, I was not only feeling quite sore from two days of yoga and carrying wood, but I felt also bored and tired of the daily schedule… In order to […]
Travel Day 975 – Sivananda Ashram, Kerala, INDIA Actually the next day turned out to be pretty much exactly the same as the first had been, as it was simply following the same rigid schedule… The wake-up call was at 5.20am again, at 6am we had the same morning Satsang, at 7.30am we had the […]
Travel Day 974 – Sivananda Ashram, Kerala, INDIA A new experience was what I had wished for and a new experience was exactly what I was getting when the bell rang as early as 5.20 in the morning… Actually it wasn’t only the bell that rang but someone switched on all the lights of our […]
Travel Day 973 – Varkala to Sivananda, Kerala, INDIA It was almost hard to believe, but more than two weeks had already passed by since I had arrived in Varkala and now I had finally found a reason to actually leave and say bye-bye to Varkala Beach… Over the last couple of days I had […]
Travel Day 956 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA While my day still revolved a fair bit around the fact that I never finished packing and re-organizing my backpack yesterday, I also couldn’t help and reminisce about my time in the Amritapuri Ashram… Initially I wanted to leave the ashram in the afternoon today while taking […]
Travel Day 955 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA It was finally time to start packing up my bag and hitting the road again, but since I had to do a little purge of my belongings, this day became finally a Travel Sunday… But first I started my day quite early again with a 4.30am rise […]
Travel Day 954 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA With Amma gone and with more time on my hand, I decided to join some of the remaining program that I was never able to join before… Participating in the morning Archana was my very first goal and even if I had bought the book a long time […]
Travel Day 953 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA After saying good-bye to Amma yesterday after the Bhajans, the ashram felt all of a sudden strangely empty… But before I started my day at the ashram, I went for another morning run and this time in the other direction. I was running up the coast first, […]
Travel Day 952 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA Today I woke up with a strange feeling and after being in the ashram for almost three weeks, I knew exactly what this feeling was. I was feeling restless… The past three weeks had been great at the ashram and I had been doing a lot, learning […]
Travel Day 951 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA Unfortunately I never managed to see the sunrise after Shivarati as Amma’s dancing ended around 1am and while sitting at the beach and watching the stars, I fell asleep by about 3am… So this morning started obviously rather slowly, but since it was the second to last […]
Travel Day 950 – Amritapuri Ashram, Kerala, INDIA Today was Sunday, it was also the last Darshan day before Amma would go on tour and it was Shivaratri… So far I managed to time my visit in Amritapuri pretty well in terms of being here during the same time as Amma was. But on Wednesday […]
